Liberation - Pride London's "Official" Party

Hey Folks,

Well, never wanting to be accused of not giving you a decent choice & offering when enabling you to decide what gets your devotion on any given weekend, we always strive to mix up the popular parties with some alternative antics & this coming Pride London weekend will be no different, so watch this space for our special recommendations post, due out within the next 24 hours. In the meantime we continue our series of Hot Dates posts, focussing on those events that look like being the big attractions on this forthcoming special weekend of gay celebration.

Saturday 3rd July is without doubt the biggest day the Pride London calendar, although as we reported in our special preview, there is so much more to pride in the capital these days, with events spanning over two weeks and encompassing a whole host of mediums in celebration of the diversity that is gay culture & life. But, as much as the majority of the focus goes to the parade through the streets of London’s west end & then to the celebrations in both Trafalgar & Leicester Squares (no Soho Square this year), eyes also then turn to what parties are held afterwards to carry on the festivities deep into Sunday morning.

Having already given you three tip top choices, we would be doing you an injustice if we didn’t cover the “official” Pride London party, although past experience shows that that word official can be used & abused by club promoters & event organisers for their own gain or, more sinisterly, to deceive those into thinking that their event is something it actually isn’t (certain tactics in Vauxhall spring to mind!). However, with “Liberation”, Pride London’s very own “official” party, you can be safe in the knowledge that it is indeed the official clubbing event for the organisers of the capitals pride parade & square shindigs and indeed the first ever party to be run by Pride’s own people. So, whilst you may see the word official used across the weekend by various club events, this is the only “official” Pride London post parade party.

Right, with that point cleared up, what can you expect from this official event? Well, it looks like being quite a corker, not least that the team have secured Camden’s fabulous Koko music & clubbing venue, a place that has recently sported great gAylist events “Matinee” & Rapido”, although has quite a sparkling history of musical & other entertainment right across its 110 year life. But before you think this is an old decaying venue (Fridge Brixton?!?!), not at all, as the owners delightfully retained/restored & managed the incredible baroque features & feel of the place in 2004, adding delightful modern touches to make it one stunning venue that, for us, ranks as probably THE best theatrical style hangout in the capital, not least for the brilliant atmosphere & incredible views from the various tiers & vantage points. Moreover Koko’s (formerly known as the Camden Palace) impeccable pedigree includes hosting artists such as Madonna, Prince & Coldplay who have held concerts there, was a mecca for the punk age in the late 70’s, The Clash being a regular feature, it has been used as a film location, a radio theatre (The Goons recorded their shows there) and has even been modelled on New York’s famous “Studio 54”, sported such greats as Visage’s Steve Strange. But we digress, although there is no denying the venue is top class, plus closer to central London than you think, so will prove really easy to get to.

As for “Liberation” itself, naturally as a clubbing event, music will be central to the theme and the D.J. line up very much reflects the uplifting, dance and “hands-in-the-air” house end of the musical spectrum, iconic scene names Andy Almighty and Stewart Who? being joined by the jet setting & internationally based mega D.J. star Wayne G, who lands back in the U.K. for a whistle-stop visit, “Liberation” being one of just a handful of gigs/appearances he will make before shooting off on his exhaustive international engagement commitments, so will be a set well worth catching. However, headlining this dance spectacular will be The Freemasons, who will surely treat us to a plethora of their remix hits, classics that include “Rain Down Love”, Uninvited” & “Watchin”, their set definitely fitting in their new single “Believer”, not to mention those Beyonce, Kelly Rowland & Sophie Ellis-Bextor smashes that will make “Liberation” a truly uplifting dance delirium of a post pride party of pop inspired music to pander to the wide & eclectic audience it will no doubt attract. Add to that a surprise live P.A. performance (our money goes on Kelly Rowland) with a host of drop dead gorgeous dancers to provide plenty of eye candy on the main performance stage, not to mention a special VIP area hosted by the incomparable scene favourite drag queen Dave Lynn, the exclusive balcony giving these “ very important persons” a great view of proceedings below, as well as serving up their own slice of musical entertainment from a special guest D.J. (possibly Richard Newman, but probably Fat Tony) and there is little doubt that the gAylist glitterati will be out in force for this “Liberation” event.

Now to those all important details and “Liberation” takes place on Saturday 3rd July at Koko in Camden (nearest tube Mornington Crescent) with doors opening at 10 p.m. & this special & “official” Pride London event running through until 5 a.m. Tickets priced at £20 (£25 for VIP’s) are available at Soho outlets Prowler & Clone Zone as well as at Ku Bar in Frith Street, or online at http://pridelondon.org/, where you can get more details on this event (as if you need to!!). So, having been “proud to be pride” at the parade, you can now also be “proud to be pride” at the party, there being nothing more for us to say apart from what we always do....”Go There! Be There!

Best Of British - "London's Biggest Pride Party"

Hey Folks,

Well, the march towards Pride London continues, although the talk these days is not much of that austere feeling of marching for rights that was so much an element of events in years gone by, but more of a parade of celebration as gay acceptability within the larger community, here in the capital at least, seems much more of a norm. And talking of celebrations, there will be plenty going on this coming Saturday in terms of clubbing, so we continue our build up, picking out some hot dates to add to your consideration pot.

So what gets our latest shout? Well, it is the return of the event that rounded off the recent London Global Dance Festival, although unlike 31st May, this one should prove hugely popular as it positions itself bang slap in the middle of pride clubbing proceedings on Saturday 3rd July and in the thick of the action in London’s second gay village, Vauxhall, this south of the river hot spot usually proving to be the most popular retreat from the swollen streets of Soho on pride weekend. And host venue for "The Best of British" event, Fire, is best placed to absorb the lion’s shares of the clubbing affections between dusk & dawn, as five rooms of fun swing into action, serving up a dazzling delight of D.J.’s delivering dancing delirium from start to finish, in what the organisers are calling “London’s biggest pride party”.

Now with news that The Orange group have secured Leicester Square for their dance stage, following the decision to close Soho Square to pride revellers on grounds of safety (see our special Pride London preview), you can pretty much guarantee that "The Best Of British" boys will be out in force to tempt you down to Fire following what looks like being THE place to be during the pride daytime celebrations. And, given past experience, there will be good reason to hot foot it down to Fire for the 9 p.m. start, thus avoiding the crush that will be a mass exodus from Central London once proceedings in Leicester Square come to a close. Indeed the team down in Vauxhall will be ready & waiting to warm you up with a special “very British & right royal” garden party outside in the recently improved & extended Fire garden, this alfresco warm up to the dancing dervishness inside hosted by the larger than life Chrissy Darling who has hinted that “...the queen will be popping in for tea!...”, although whilst HRH will definitely not be there, plenty of queens definitely will be, hankering to get their piece of this best of brits action.

And talking of that action, there will be plenty going on across the five dedicated areas of dance & music, the main room might of Steve Pitron & The Sharp Boys, being joined by special guest for the night, Seamus Haji, who is probably best known for his “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life” track fame, although has a veritable feast of remix works that have secured a position for prestigious D.J./Producer in amongst the crème de la crème of the musical pile. Now, you may say, why Mr Haji at a party celebrating the best of British talent?, but the reality is Seamus is not only based in the U.K. but was born here, although while he is from Irish/Indian & Iranian decent, many of his notable successes have been here in the U.K..However, that impressive catalogue of remix work, including his collaborations with Paul Emmanuel, has seen Mr Haji feature large & wide on countless Hed Kandi albums, not to mention his music being played across the dancefloors of the U.K., Europe & beyond, so he is a major coup for the organisers and will surely make him a massive draw at this pride special party. Add to that the prolific special live P.A. of Elliotte Williams & Dure, performing the huge club smash, “Pride, A Deeper Love” amongst others, with the backdrop of prime British beef muscled go-go dancers and the action will be simply amazing. But it doesn’t stop there as four other spaces will showcase some of the best in British D.J. gAylist talent, the “London Underground” room sporting Guy Williams, Steve Thomas, Lisa German, Alan K & Nik Denton, while the “Brit Pop” space will herald The Very Miss Dusty O, Tuomo Fox, Jason Prince & James St James. Then there is the “Gaydar Fire Lounge” steered by ClubNation presenter & D.J. Phil Marriot, joined by GaydarNation’s Jonny M, as well as Lee Harris & Verity Mayes, while the Megawoof boys get in on the act with their own take of this very British affair, with their space “The Best Of Bears”, with resident D.J.’s Daz Saund, Tim McCloone & Leonardo Glovibes.

With all this on offer and being pride to boot, you would think that the usual price explosion would take place, but you couldn’t be further from the truth, as advance tickets for this "The Best Of British" event are a mere £10, available online at http://clubtickets.com/, as well as at outlets, Prowler, Clone,& DV8, plus bars The Edge & The Box, as well as at all upcoming events at Fire & Area, doors to this very British party opening at 9 p.m. & the event running through until 7 a.m. So, it should prove a tasty alternative to those who don’t fancy a hop skip & jump down the yellow brick road, rather being safe in the knowledge that THE party of the weekend will be just a hop skip & jump away after savouring buckets loads of best brits brilliance and therefore carries our full recommendation as a hot date for your diaries.

Hard On! - Pride London Special

Hey Folks,

With the summer very much here and the long(ish) forecast looking good, Pride London weekend seems a promising prospect for drawing 10’s of thousands of out & proud gay people will be basking in the sunshine, parading through London’s streets & then celebrating across Trafalgar & Leicester Squares and, of course, spilling into Soho. As a result there will be plenty of alfresco action during the day and we will bring you our best bits in forthcoming posts, although there is no doubt, as day turns to night, there are some choice clubs that will be vying for your attention & are as such definite Hot Dates in our books.

So, talking of which, it comes as no surprise that the mistress of fetish will want to get her fair share of the action, so her headlining club Hard On! will be holding a special pride party, shifting from the usual last Saturday of the month slot, rolling open Hidden’s doors to a leather, rubber & altogether horny crowd on Saturday 3rd July, Suzi’s strap line for this special event being “shake off your marching boots from Pride and get your fuck boots on!, and there is no denying the intentions of this full-on fetish frolic with a slogan like that.

Now, we have been followers & fans Ms Krueger’s fetish fineries for as long as we can remember, right from the early days of former club, Fist, at both Substation South & then Imperial Gardens (we were still innocent in the days of Denmark Place), making virtually monthly homage’s to satisfy our penchant for leather & lust, even when this iconic club was included in massive parties like Famous Five, Summer Rites and even the annual pride park celebrations Indeed our first frolic into all things Fist was at Kennington Park back in 1992, but, times they changed and with the sad demise of Fist, came the re-birth in the form of Hard On!, which brought its erotic extravagancies to Vauxhall, honing in on host venue Crash, but then finding firmer foundations at Hidden and as they say, the rest is history.

Whilst our clubbing exploits across the scene now preclude us from making Hard On! a monthly inclusion in our cavorting calendar, the odd trip here & there hold very fond memories for us, the last Saturday of the month signally the time to, at least consider dusting off the leathers & heading down to Hidden, although with Pride on our doorsteps, Suzi’s decision to shift this club to coincide with the capital’s biggest gay celebration will surely prove a popular one as well as a very tempting prospect for us. And we are sure that devotees to this fetish fling will be chalking the date up in their diaries (if not having done so already) and you can expect a gorgeous gathering of leather, rubber, uniform & even naked affiliates, all engrossing in the sexual glory hole that is Hard On!

So, Saturday 3rd of July is the date & Hidden is the place, but what have the team got in store to entice you in? Well, first off is the relaxing of the membership rules exclusively for this pride party, as entrance will not be restricted to members only, the doors being swung open to everyone for this one time only, the added bonus of free 1 year’s membership offered to new Hard On! entrants, which will be one of many stimulants to get you down & dirty, not just on this special night but right across the year. Then, once in the club, things will be switched around to mix up proceedings, the music mixing in the so called “bouncing your bollocks” blue room (known affectionately as the cruise room), being in the hands of resident beefcake Brent Nicholls, joined for this outing by fellow “Sweat” D.J. Simon Simple and Hard On! regular Dmak, all three serving up plenty of funky, chunky, horny & sexy sounds to scintillate, while over in the “whipping your arse” Red room (who thinks up these names!?!), it will be down to Hugo’sland & Halo-is to manufacture the masterful music, adding to the legendary pervy performances which will definitely be a feature of both rooms. But in true Hidden tradition, the infamous playroom will be open in all its usual glory, with x-rated porn raising the atmosphere & plenty more besides, with plenty of goings on fuelled by the plethora of free cum shots (that’s spirits shorts before you ask!) and we are sure lots of reasonably priced refreshments to lubricate the larynx’s for the lustful action ahead, while for that more intimate close encounter of the sexual kind, the plentiful corridor spaces, comfy sofa’s, seating & chill-out areas will once again prove popular, as will be the much improved outdoor terrace area come smoking deck, which has been given a smart revamp and now includes additional seating and even a snack bar.

Now, despite the relaxing of the door policy, don’t expect any relaxation in the dresscode, as it is strictly leather, rubber, uniform & skin gear, boots being in, trainers very much out, chaps & the like allowed & jeans definitely not, but plenty of people opt for minimal dress & even naked, excepting that essential footwear of course. Entry for this Hard On! pride special will be £15 for members & £20 for others, doors opening at Hidden from 10 p.m. & the event running through until 5 a.m., with further information on everything else you need to know about this monthly fetish outing available at http://hardonclub.co.uk/.

So, 3rd July is definitely time to be out, proud & stamp a fetish statement on the weekend, by joining Suzi Krueger & the team of horny hedonists for Hard On! at Hidden and is defiantly a Hot Date.

SuperMartXe - "The Wizard Of Oz" Gay Pride Special

Hey Folks,

If you took a look at our latest preview “Proud To Be Pride” you will realise that the countdown to Pride London has very much begun, but further more that a whole load of the gAylist clubbing scene’s current big guns will be swinging into action over the weekend of 3rd July.

So, in a short series of Hot Dates posts, we will be focussing on these parties, the first getting our attention looking like it will be the hottest ticket in town for Pride Saturday, as the SuperMartXe steamrolling machine takes the capital by storm with its special “Wizard Of Oz” Gay Pride Special party, which will be held at its usual home, The Coronet in Elephant & Castle. But this is not just a specially themed party, as the Logan Presents team will be joining forces with Jodie Harsh’s “Circus” in what looks like being a sell-out event, despite some of the lovely latino’s being tempted away from the capital for Madrid’s own Pride festival. So what can you expect from this latest SuperMartXe London instalment?

Well, ever since it was launch to a then unsuspecting public back in November 2008, SuperMartXe has stole the headlines & captured the imagination of clubland London like no other event we can think of, and right from that first party, the trademark stupendous stage shows, prolific pyrotechnic effects & massive euro style & espaniol tainted music have been the bywords of this smashing Spanish brands escapades in the capital. Such has been the success that promoter Logan Schmitz has successfully tempted the faithful down to huge parties at Brixton’s O2 Academy, both NYD and Easter proving real hits and on top of that, has added the Matinee London crown to his list of achievements since breaking away from the brand back in the summer of 2008. His reputation for organising & drawing on one of the hottest looking crowds in town is short of miraculous and the parties he lays on in celebration have become THE places to be & be seen.

And “Wizard Of Oz” looks set to continue that tradition, as Logan together with his team of schmitzels, have already begun laying down the blocks that will form the yellow brick road leading you to their own glittering version of The Emerald City at The Coronet in London’s Elephant & Castle on Saturday 3rd July. With such a strong theme to the party, you can expect that they will be pulling out all the stops to make the stage one stunning spectacle, not to mention dressing up the gorgeous & glamorous array of dancers in appropriately themed costumes, the lion, the tin man & the scarecrow definitely getting more than a look in and a little birdie tells me that Logan’s own pooch “Bronx”, while not very Toto looking, may be playing a brief role in proceedings. However, as yet we are not quite sure who will be playing the leading role, Dorothy, (possibly Naomi in an in a pair of bright red heels!), but expect a dynamic & dazzling display to match & maybe exceed any show of Logan’s yet. Mind you Dorothy could also be powerful P.A. Abigail Bailey, who hit the big time back in 2005 with her massive club hit “I just Can’t Get Enough” and will most likely treat us to that as well as her brand new hit “Touch Me” which stormed & topped the charts across Europe within days of its release.

In terms of the music, all the usual SuperMartXe boxes have been ticked and taking centre stage will be the drop dead gorgeous Hugo Sanchez, swooping in on London direct from Spain for the party and, despite being billed as the “Wizard” for the event, we put more in the league of the handsome prince (wrong film we know!) but not only will his looks smoulder, but his music will too and judging by his last performance, this should be one superb set to savour. Another D.J. that has been making considerable SuperMartXe waves recently is London’s own Spanish inspired disc spinning star, Tony English, who treated us to a tank load of terrific tunes at the last “Hot Wheels” party, packing out the dancefloor right up to the 7 a.m. finish, but this time raises the curtain on musical proceedings with what should be a rousing rhapsody of rhythms to get your trip down that yellow brick road more than hopping, skipping & jumping. But completing the tremendous trio in the SuperMartXe main room, is none other than Italian stallion Pagano, whose unquestionable talent behind the decks has seen him play in some of the most prestigious parties & events on the gAylist London scene, his style of hard hitting progressive & tech sure to be a hit in this specially themed “Wizard Of Oz” and may even tumble the glacial walls of The Emerald City with the power & enthusiasm he develops behind the decks. And as a little treat & prelude to the music you can expect at this enchanting event, check out the second in the series of “Logan Presents” podcasts, like the first presented by resident Tony English & featuring Hugo Sanchez, which runs down some of the biggest hits making waves on the European dancefloors at the moment, not to mention news & info on forthcoming events, as well as that all important mix from Hugo, all which is available now at http://loganpresentspodcast.podomatic.com/.

But the action isn’t just restricted to the main room, as the Jodie Harsh “Circus” outfit rolls into town and we are sure she & her fun filled crew will definitely add their own element of magic to the whole event, not in the wicked witch sense of course, but with all the glitz, glam & razzmatazz that is very much the byword of this fabulously full-on clubbing alternative. And with Jodie possibly attracting a smattering of glitterati too, she will be taking her turn behind the decks, along with “Circus” favourite, the super talented & vivacious Kris Di Angelis, a guy with whom we have been rubbing social shoulders with for as long as we can remember and always delivers a delectable doze of dance & harder hitting house. But, as if these two divine D.J.’s were enough, adding to the “Circus” clowning around is the legendary Fat Tony, who makes his first appearance at a SuperMartXe inspired event & will surely draw more than a handful of punters away from the main room, this prolific performer having been there & done that, quite memorable sets coming at Trade, DTPM, Matinee & Orange just to mention a few, so we definitely know where we will be when a certain Mr T starts spinning the sounds.

Right so that’s the action covered, so now to that all important detail and SuperMartXe’s “Wizard Of Oz” gay pride special party featuring “Circus” takes place on 3rd July from 10.30 p.m., running through until 7 a.m. Tickets priced at £15 are on sale, but already selling fast, so make sure you either jump online now & grab yours at http://clubtickets.com/ or at Soho outlets, Prowler, Clone Zone & DV8, as well as at SolarStation, Santos & Mowen, and bars The Box, Profile, & both Barcode’s. Plus if you fancy going VIP then why not indulge, with special table packages & tickets available through http://supermartxelondon.com/. And, talking of Profile, make sure you keep tomorrow night clear & head down to Wardour Street, as the team will be bringing you another smash pre-party at both Profile & Lo-Profile, Tony English tantalising you downstairs with some pre main event pulsating tunes, Logan & his band of schmitzels on duty, decking out both places in SuperMartXe production & plenty more, including dancers in the Profile window & downstairs in the club, more details of this coming up in our weekend recommendations post.

So, come Saturday 3rd of July, make sure your are not cowardly like the lion, that your outfit doesn’t make you look quite like the scarecrow and if you insist on wearing tin, make sure it is nice & polished to match your shiny red shoes, click those heels, grab your Toto and head off down the yellow brick road to The Coronet in Elephant & Castle for Logan Presents “Wizard Of Oz” event as this is very much one hot, hot date!

Lovechild June

Hey Folks,

Well, the team have hardly caught breath from the massive London Global Dance Festival (LGDF) which consumed their lives for weeks up to the weekend of parties just gone, but as the saying goes, “time waits for no man” and its business as usual in the Alex Erfan camp, as Lovechild returns on Saturday 12th June, marking the first of its summer parties in the capital and at Fire in Vauxhall, this event being very much a hot date for your diaries.

But before we go on, what’s been happening in Lovechild land recently? Well, with the last event in London having been consumed by the “love weekend” of parties, it nevertheless showcased a superb set of D.J. performances, not least from special Spanish guest Albert Neve, who impressed far more than many of his country compatriots do when they hit London, the night also hailing the brilliance of P.A. Kaysee. With the team already riding high as a result, they built on that success with their “Red” event over in Antwerp, which made a massive splash. London Lovechild resident wunder kid Phil Hewson was given the opportunity to really stretch his legs & by golly did he deliver, the crowd simply lapping up his scintillating set from start to finish laying down the gauntlet yet paving the way for international mega star D.J. Paul Heron to wow the crowd with his wonderful musical magic. With this special Lovechild being fronted by the amazing Chrissy Darling, whose incredible presence & costume made a massive impact, the dancers dressed shoulder to toe in fetching tight fitting red one pieces, cut an impressive stride, surrounding fabulous PR guru Jerry Boston standing proud on the stage. Jerry helped mastermind the whole event, exporting the brand with pride and, talking with him afterwards, he remarked “...given it was our first trip to Antwerp, I was thrilled with the reaction from the crowds who were clearly impressed with the whole event...” he adding that “...the feedback from the venue was extremely positive and they cannot wait to welcome us back...” so we are certainly looking forward to making the journey to report & review on the next Lovechild international expedition.

However, back in the capital and with the summer looking promising, the passion for clubbing will hopefully heat up with it and Lovechild is well placed to serve up another superb party in its now well established home at Fire in Vauxhall. And, with a distinct summery theme, the team will be ramping up the already quality club production, creating an oasis of love and sporting all those delightful dancers that were so eye catching & drop dead gorgeous at the last London event (that alone has us pleased as punch!). And the team will also be concentrating the music on the talent of its broad & experienced resident team of D.J.’s, welcoming back to the party Lovechild original’s Brent Nicholls, Mattias & Tony English, who will be joined by both stars from the Antwerp outing, Paul Heron & Phil Hewson, with superb Sicilian’s Alessandro & Gabriele Cutrano also gracing the decks, while Lee Harris heads up a band of youngsters that will include Terry Vietheer, JC Christopher and new Lovechild entrant, Terry Bryan.

Looking at these D.J.’s on offer, the range of house music genres on offer is simply dynamic and the combination will definitely deliver to suit all tastes. Brent Nicholls is in a really pioneering sector of sound at the moment, playing out fresh track, one after the next in the style that he coins “Nu-funk”, the type of music that gets the feet moving, the hips swaying & the bodies gyrating to the funky & disco/electro drenched beats, endless examples available through his LGDF dedicated compilations as well as those pressed for both Hustlaball & Pervert, which you can check out at http://djbrentnicholls.com/music. Both Terry’s are accomplished deliverers of uplifting yet funky filled house with tech tinges, the antipodean Mr Vietheer making an impact at Heaven’s Popcorn as well as appearing at hip hangouts Barcode, Rupert St, and has literally just released his latest compilation entitled “funky for love” (very appropriate) which is out now at http://soundcloud.com/terryvietheer/funky4love-june-2010-promo, while Mr Bryan continues to make musical waves at clubs that include A.M., Booster, Beyond & Later as well as featuring in Bank Holiday Orange specials, just last week treating us to some storming sets at Beyond & Orange in Area’s fabulous Terrace Bar space, but really tickling our disco & funky fancies in the Vinyl room at A.M., showing the depth in his musical talent, his latest compilation out at http://terrybryan.podomatic.com/ giving a real flavour of his style. Then there is the magnificent Mattias, who never fails to impress with his octane fuelled tech & progressive house, making him a favourite attraction wherever he goes, holding down a exhaustive international roster, but popping up in the capital every now & then, Barcode & A.M. included in recent appearances, his irresistible musical flair reflected beautifully in his latest “tech house in your face” mix out at http://djmattias.podomatic.com/, while Tony English comes to Lovechild on the back of his brilliant performance at SuperMartXe’s “Hot Wheels” party last Saturday, where he packed out The Coronet right till the finish at 7 a.m. with an impressive display of electro, funky & tech fuelled house which he laid down for posterity in a live mix which is available through http://tonyenglish.podomatic.com/ and, as with previous Lovechild appearances, he will prove a real draw. Rupert St favourite Alessandro Londra will be back to Lovechild too, stirring the emotions with his fiery Sicilian passion which shows through in the explosive & exciting music he plays, that has seen him star at Matinee’s both old & new, hangouts including Lo-Profile & Barcode, sexy lads outfits Rudeboiz & Fitladz, not to mention massive clubs As One & Beyond and his latest release “Get Wet”, out at http://soundcloud.com/djalessandrolondra/get-wet will certainly whet your appetite for his music. And if that isn’t enough to entice you, watch out for our special “Music is The Answer” post covering the whole Lovechild resident team & their latest works, out next week.

So, what else can we look forward to in this summery Lovechild edition? Well, we have mentioned those delightful dancers and there will be plenty of them, both in the main room where they will make plenty of those striking & imposing movements, with the eroticism extending much further in the contact room (Mirrorarch) space, where a few more assets will be on show to pop the eyes. And talking of that contact room, the special infamous play area will be back and masterminded by the fabulous Tony Bruno, the space described as “...somewhere that clubbers can feel relaxed and have extra raunchy fun – a room fitted with comfortable armchairs within a maze complete with antiseptic gel for cleaning hands after the naughtiness...” and having been dragged in there a couple of events ago by a famous scene photographer, we can vouch for just exactly what it offers. But back out in amongst the music & dance action, not only will Fire’s superb lighting, pyrotechnics & effects, in the hands of Dorin & co, add to the sparkle of this summer themed party, but the amazing visuals supplied by Alan X will add their own touch of magic to proceedings.

With all that, Lovechild’s upcoming party at Fire in Vauxhall next Saturday 12th June, has got to be a must visit and advanced tickets priced at just £10 are available now at http://clubtickets.com/ as well as at Soho outlets Prowler, Clone Zone, & DV8, and at both The Box & Barcode. We will bring you more details of timings & latest info in upcoming weekend posts, but rest assured hosts Jerry & Naomi promise a party to remember, so etch this date into your diaries now & make Lovechild a hot date.
